They will blindly fight for their perception (the perception of the given
lawyer) of specific rights, and *against* others. Research each case, and
the motives each time.

Roger Baldwin founder of the ACLU stated:
"We are for Socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state
itself. We seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the
propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth.
Communism is the goal."
While he later expelled Soviet socialists from the group, that was limited
to Stalinistic communism only, as with many other groups that were
leninistic.
